Features: Renowned journalist An Dun passionately crafted and recommended this first-ever "private experience novel" in China, Poison Moon. This is not the work of a professional writer or a so-called author, but rather a young girl who has experienced pain and disappointment, yet still holds onto dreams, writing about her regrets in a simple and sincere way. It is also a warning and a call to those who share her experiences from a kind-hearted girl who has endured the ups and downs of love. Her sincerity, her directness, her lack of pretense, and her precious sense of responsibility make her both admirable and pitiable. After I finished revising her final draft, it was late at night. I pulled open the curtains, opened the window, and the moon was bright in the sky. That's when I chose the title of this book for Guo Wei, Poison Moon—An Dun.
This is a "private experience novel," a unforgettable love tragedy from the short life of a young girl, a story of a girl fighting drugs for the love of her life. This book is planned and recommended by renowned journalist An Dun. The author, who registered under the username "Clear Water Without Fragrance" on the "An Dun Women's Network" forum and contacted An Dun several times to share her love story, wrote this. The drug users and their families, their pale faces, frail bodies, hollow eyes, desperate tears, and the explosive accusations they are always ready to unleash—all of this evokes a sense of the powerlessness of family, the fragility of love, and the ugliness within human nature. All of this stems merely from the two chilling words: "drugs."
